Name that Gameboy! |
|
by the hammer of Jim Squires! |
|
During our interview with Heath Phillips (the last post for those of you not paying attention) a rather surprising bit of information popped up. It turns out that his little buddy doesn’t actually have a name yet! And what’s more, he thinks that you might just be the motley crew up to the task. Heath is calling on you, theBBPS nation, to name his Gameboy!
A bit of a disclaimer - Heath is in no way obligated to use any of your suggestions, so no complaining if he doesn’t pick from the hopefully vast number of entries we see. That being said, I’m gonna sweeten the pot a little. If Heath does pick your suggestion I’m going to send you an original Gameboy, courtesy of theBBPS. Heck, I’ll even throw in a random game.
So what are you waiting for? Get going with those suggestions! Just post them here in the comments area, and make sure to put in your real email address so we can contact you if selected.
[We're learning that youtube has pulled the video (bitches). Here'a link to it on livevideo]

Dusty. Dusty Slott.
I guess that’d be more appropriate for a NES, but same issue, really

“GeeBee”
He also has his extended family such as midget cousin “GeeBeePee”, and little brothers “GeeBeeSee” and “GeeBeeAay”.
Although, then there’s the black sheep of the family, Uncle “VeeBee” who rides the train tracks in search of lost hopes and dreams.

Obsy. Short for obsolete. Pronounced “Obzee”.
Perfect name for when it fails to load the game, or it’s too big to fit in a pocket, or it’s puse colored screen makes people sick, and the others say “Obsy!” in that two tone way, and then you here the waa waa waa waaaaaaa and Obsy looks at the screen and shrugs.

I still like lyla. I don’t think the name has to necessarily be based on a sexual nnuendo.
Aside from lyla “getting off” at the end I actually thought it was cute!

Well, I would suggest using the pet name or nick name of someone that’s in the upper ranks of the Gamers corporate chain, or use the name of the CEO or chairman or president’s pet dog or something.
As for names that are related to it being a Game Boy, how about George, like George Bush, since both of their initials are “GB,” and they’re both crazy :O
…how about Nort, the reversed lettering of Tron? I like it. Other than that, Bob comes to mind. If you want something fancy, how about Alejandro?

you should name him wii wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
ferrarimanf355 on 01 Feb 2007 at 8:35 pm #
How about “Pocky The Boy”?
DRD on 01 Feb 2007 at 9:03 pm #
How about… Bob? I mean short and sweet, right?
…or maybe Captain N..
